Religion in Politics:

Why is religion in politics such a common theme these days?

Because 42% of US Senators are getting a 100% rating from the "Christian Coalition" score cards. No Republicans got below a 50% score card rating. Only 22% of the US population Identify with the christian right.

What do they believe?

"The surest antidote to tyranny is a free people who believe it owes allegiance to a higher power, not the government." - Ralph Reed ("Active Faith" 96 pg 8-9)

- In other words, so long as everyone is christian, they're all free. The US Constitution says that the government owes its allegiance to "the people", not a higher power. The very first 3 words in the Constitution are "We the people".

"We need common sense judges who understand that our rights are derived from god. Those are the kind of judges I intend to put of the bench." - G.W. Bush

- Once we have a government that believes it derives its authority from god, then we become a theocracy. If you ask folks on the xian right if they believe in a theocracy they'll say, "absolutely not". No, they only agree with Ralph Reeds Idea that a democracy means everybody sharing his Idea of a higher power (sigh).

"Christians alone are Biblically mandated to occupy all secular Institutions until Christ returns". "The army of god is to conquer the earth, to subdue it, to rule over it, to exercise dominion"

- The xian right are waging war on all secular institutions. Please get involved in the 2006 elections.

Also get educated very quickly by viewing these 2 videos. view this one first - "Life and Liberty for All Who Believe". Then this second - "The Rise of Dominionism" at -
